So...yeah. Seems MS, in their endless wisdom has decided to rename their virtual desktop software, called before as "Remote Desktop" (and good luck trying to find issues with that that are not related to the old RDP tool MTSC.exe) to.... "Windows App". Perfect. Now everything will look like everything, and there's no way to ever try to search for help for it. Next in line, I guess they can call it just "App". I'm sure that will help everyone.

And on Windows they removed the functionality to remote into other machines.
Only business accounts for now.
But not for Android, iOS/MacOS.

So frustrating. I've installed it on a few PCs to access remote desktop services and I can't figure out how. The old app says to use Windows app as it's going EoL. Ok. But how? Looks like it's meant to connect to windows 365 only .. or ik a total idiot.

These assholes are prepping up with a cloud service with a name change like that.

Wait, are they doing a Boeing over there at Microsoft? Did they take all of the marketing people and put them in charge? Surely they had people that work there that saw this problem instantly but they were either ignored or they said nothing which says a lot about what they've got going on internally at Microsoft.

Bet: They will implement a chatbot using recall as Windows help, integrate it into something like Windows help and make a premium version of a stupid AI try to reverse engineering what you tried to do while guessing for Solutions neither the operator nor the ai understands. Is there a "remind me in 3 years"?

So you need ChatGPT to get a helpful answer.

It's been a while, i think, and yes, it was a pos move.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago

Just the other day there was a post in a Linux memes com about how everything was called an app now.

Ah yes, the "windows app" I remote into Linux on. That's like an ex naming a kid after you levels of crazy.

i usually press win+r and type 'calc' or 'cmd'. they could make that more efficient by assigning binary numbers to everything.

Will it still be port 3389? I think that’s what it is but I’m too lazy to look it up.
